Some relationships may seem unlikely until they really happen. This is the charm of love and romance. It happens in books and it happens in real life too. Going out of your social and sometimes religious and ethnic comfort zone is never easy - ´love will always win´ is not necessarily realistic - and the difficulties could be sometimes too hard to overcome. Therefore, books based on such conflictual situations are always an inspiration.
Yellow is for Sunflowers by Kathryn Freeman is one such Romantic story. Lia and Dean do belong to two different worlds. She is middle class, highly educated teacher. He is an expert in car repairing but without intellectual expectations. They met randomly while she has an issue with her car, but meet again, as she is the teacher of his brother. And the romance is going on and on, out of their control and beyond her family´s forecast.
The story in itself is the strongest point of the book. The characters are caught into the network of their connection and relationships. Their past is as important as their present and future, as it often interfers and challenges the characters. There are some tensionate moments and there is no guarantee for a happy ending, which makes the book romantically surprising.
Yellow is for Sunflowers is a comfort read for the weekend, raising questions and keeping the reader focused and entertained.
